>>>a welcome announcement from the tsa today. injured veterans no longerer have to take off their shoes, jackets or hats at
airport security
checkpoints. but this still isn't perfect. listen to why. they have to call
24 hours
ahead before flying to arrange for expedited service. the new rules for our wounded warriors are being forced through because so many amputees wearing prosthetic legs have reported difficult and uncomfortable experiences at checkpoints when asked to remove their shoes.
